tcp/ip for Tandy 16/6000 Xenix never existed to the best of my
knowledge -- and I do try to keep up. There was never ethernet and
there were never Xenix drivers for the Model II arcnet cards. And
no sign of slip even. If it existed, I'd be running it.
For cc, you need either the development set or a precompiled gcc.
I've got those, but my 6000 isn't talking to its HD right now. You
might want to inventory any other HDs that came in this batch. And
inventory the hardware including add-in boards -- you might have a
piece or two I'd deal for. (I have a _lot_ of Tandy Xenix install
media, including the dev set, but 8" diskettes to make copies on
are getting harder to find). I'm especially interested in the few
non-Tandy boards that were out there, especially those by Snapp.
